Colour etching on paper
The sacred iconography of this etching with a dominant source of light or energy seems veiled and encased by a series of blocks of lines, as though making it difficult for the believer—who can see it—difficult to reach. Devayani Krishna’s ability to manipulate colour and bold line work is in evidence here. An art teacher in New Delhi, Krishna was the earliest woman printmaker in the country and her work is an outstanding example of the possibilities that can come from constant experimentation.
